I've read this before, more than once, yet I'm still here with tears streaming down my face! That is so clearly the sign of an amazing storyteller. To bring out that type of emotion, when one knows basically what's going to happen, and with fictional characters... you are just really awesome at telling this. I find that there are some fics out there in the medical genere, that really have far too much medical jargon in them. I bow to an author for really wanting to keep it accurate but it gets cold. Also when you read too many terms you are unfamiliar with your eyes kinda glaze a bit and I know I'll find myself starting to skim which leads to me missing important or cute moments I wouldn't have wanted to miss. On top of that to tell a very real story, keeping it relatable yet keeping the heart in the story, well, let's just say I'm ashamed I didn't review this years ago when I first read it. I don't know if you said somewhere in here that this is based on an experience of your own or if it's just something I've taken for granted but assumuing I'm right about this then I really want to applaud you. The thing is, there are some really great writers, ones that are well loved that put too much of themselves into the stories. For example, they start giving Jim or Pam so many of their own or their spouse's qualities that pretty soon they've kinda lost me because that person has pretty much become someone else. Or if it's a younger person for instance and they are writing about Jim and Pam's kids, often Jim and Pam as parent's stop being the people from the show and instead are just stand ins for that writer's parents I don't know if I'm making any sense. I just know that through the nearly decade I've been on these boards those stories that authors put too much of themselves into have really kinda lost favor with me. I think maybe my idea of who Jim and Pam are is now so strong from rewatches etc that I know when it just seems off. SO... sorry I got caught up in too much explaination (not that you'll read this anyhow as this story is quite old) I just wanted to say that I really admire how you really did a balancing act of experience/medical knowledge/general Jim/Pam. I'm going to reread your other stuff next. I remember a couple fondly, one where Jim and or Pam write letters to the kids and another where the kids kinda mirror the DM staff a bit too much. I've decided I want to try harder to review fics I'm rereading as I know that I often will read reviews first, especially if I'm on the fence about a story. This one honestly is just far too good to pass up. I'm so grateful that you shared your talent with us.
